We had an amazing stay. Host communication was amazing and very patient as we didn’t know our arrival time until same day. Rina met us for checkin and gave us an excellent tour after giving us excellent directions from Kyoto Station. We arrived on New Year’s Day which made it challenging for eating at restaurants, but the hosts created a list of restaurants that were open. The house is as pictured. The tub/shower area overlooking the small outdoor courtyard was nice and peaceful. The tub held the water’s heat for a very long time making for an excellent soak. The washer/dryer combo was also very useful as we were in the middle of a 10 day trip. The beds comfortable as well. The location is excellent. Restaurants close by, Family Mart & 7-11 also close by for those little items. We would highly recommend staying and would definitely come back if the opportunity arises.

Thank you for the great review. We are so glad that Michelle and her family had a comfortable stay. Many stores are closed during the New Year holidays, so it was honestly quite difficult to create the list, but We're relieved that it was of some help. We were relieved to hear that they were able to stay comfortably in the townhouse. It's cold in Kyoto in the winter, so We were glad to hear that they had taken measures to protect their feet from the cold. If you have a chance to come to Kyoto, please stay at our house again. We are looking forward to seeing you next time. Take care.Arigato!

Thank you for staying with us. We are very sorry for the noise from the upper floors. Because it is a townhouse, it is structured so that sound tends to echo a little more easily than a normal house.

Wow.. what a beautiful property. Host was very communicative and we were able drop off our luggage early. Upon return to check-in we were greeted by our host who explained everything in great detail and took us on a tour of the house to ensure that we were familiar with the operation of everything from shower to laundry. The fine craftsmanship of the remodelled home was evident throughout. The property is in a very convenient location. Very walkable to many locations and train stations are within 6-8 min walk. Wished we had spent more than 3 nights here. We loved Kyoto and our stay here. Hope to return soon.

Traditional Japanese Home Stay
As the listing indicates, it's in a great area- close to the subway and short walk to restaurants, Nishiki Market, Gion area for shopping, etc. Home is a wonderful traditional Japanese home that really adds to the experience. (Beware: traditional Japanese home low headroom! I'm 5'9" and my son is 6'2" so we had to lower our heads as we went in/out rooms, but it was all good!!) Shower and bath were fantastic!Host was wonderful. We found 2 beds a little too firm for our liking, but upon letting her know they came by with some additional mattress toppers and all was good.If back in Kyoto I wouldn't hesitate to stay again,

In traditional Japanese houses, all homes are built with low ceilings. I hope there are no injuries. I apologize for the inconvenience caused by the firmness of the futon, which affected the sleeping comfort. I am thinking of purchasing a new mattress. Please come and stay again without hesitation.

Magic in Kyoto
Kyoto is wonderful city and this Machiya made it even more so. We spent five nights and enjoyed every moment. This is a lovely traditional house with great charm, yet modern amenities. It's in a perfect location. Very quiet, but near all the sights, shopping and transportation. The house was very clean and the shower is probably the best we have ever encountered. The futons were extremely comfortable. If we get a chance to return to Kyoto, this will be our place to stay.

Lovely home, wonderful stay!
We had the great fortune of being able to book Shimoza-an during cherry blossom season, and had a wonderful stay here! I cannot say enough good things about this place. I spent six weeks traveling through Asia with my family, and this was, without a doubt, our favorite place that we stayed at. The house is beautiful, the beds are comfortable, and I still dream about the bathroom... I don't know if it was just because the weather was a bit chilly during our stay, but the shower at the end of the day, followed by a nice soak in the deep tub... It was something to look forward to! We found food, transportation, and attractions easily accessible from here. I have zero complaints, and already know where I want to stay next time I am lucky enough to find myself back in Kyoto.

An unforgettable experience
Making reservation and payment was very straight forward. There was a hitch when we made our payment but the team was extremely helpful with it. Nothing was too much of a hassle even reservation of restaurants and taxi.
Upon arriving, everything was already ready for us. The accommodation had everything we need. The air conditioner is definitely a massive plus given the very hot and humid autumn. Washing machine is also a dryer which is fantastic.
Close to a subway exit and it is at the intersection of two lines. There is a pharmacy and 2 convenience stores close by.
Overall it was a very comfortable stay for us all.

Perfect Vacation Home in Kyoto
This is our first family trip to Japan. With two young children, this property was perfect for our needs. It is in a very quiet and safe neighborhood with no busy tourism stuff going on. Yet it is very convenient by being close to subway stations and major streets. There is also a small market just several minutes of walking from the rental property, which has milk, bread, eggs etc in case we need anything.
The house has the traditional charms and modern amenities. We enjoyed the shower particularly. The washer/dryer was definitely helpful when you have young kids traveling. It was very comfortable for the four of us with floor heating and air conditioning during a November stay.
Mariko is very responsive, friendly and helpful. She speaks fluent English which is a great help for our stay. Prior to our arrival, she gave us tips on how to travel to Kyoto etc. During our stay, she recommended restaurants and even helped to make reservations for us.
We have already recommended this property to several friends for their future consideration. We wish we had a longer stay to fully explore Kyoto and enjoy Shimoza-an.

Great place for a family
My family and I loved staying in this home. Old traditional house in the middle of Kyoto. Clean and lovely with plenty of space for us. Great place to stay with a family, a group of friends, or two couples traveling together.
I wish there were clearer public transportation information. The address didn't register in google maps so we took a cab from Kyoto station.
Within 15 minutes of checking in a very friendly person came to show us how to use all the appliances and showed us where everything was. He also collected a 3000 yen tax that we needed to pay to the city. Not sure why that wasnt included in the overall vrbo price but be aware and add that to your costs when figuring your budget. I believe it was a variable cost based on number of people and duration of stay so it will likely be different. 3000 paid for 5 people for three days.
There was a terrific little cocktail bar a few blocks away called Tsukumo that made incredible in season only fresh fruit daquiris. Not usually my choice of drink but after tasting my wife's, it's all I ordered.
This house was our favorite place we've stayed in Kyoto. It's now our go to when we go back.

Thank you for staying with us. Thank you also for your accurate review. I was relieved that you seemed to enjoy your stay very much. There is a separate system for lodging tax, which is collected in cash and paid directly to Kyoto City. Therefore, it is collected in cash on site. It depends on the amount of accommodation per person, but it is collected at an amount of 200 yen per person per night, so the amount varies depending on each group. Normally, it would be nice if it could be included in the accommodation fee, but we are very sorry. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
If you have a chance to come to Kyoto, please stay at our house again. We are looking forward to seeing you next time. Arigato!

Superb house in prime location with superb host.
Our first visit to Japan and to the beautiful city of Kyoto has given my wife and me enormous pleasure and its was an experience of a lifetime. A great part of the success of this incredible vacation was due to the quality and the location of the vacation house Shimoza-an and even more to our lovely host Mariko.
First things first: Mariko's presence was a joy on its own, she is to us the personification of 'das Land des Lächelns', Japan as 'the country of smiles'. Her omnipresent assistance, the abundant fountain of information, her accompanying us on an introductory walk in the neighbourhood, Mariko as help desk at the phone when we needed her during our Kyoto walks, her tips for interesting addresses and people (on our request she even took us to a carpenter in Arashiyama for a talk about wood carving and Japanese chisels and whetting stones), her visiting the vacation house to check if we needed something: Mariko has been our ever smiling personal guide, private shopping assistant and interpreter. Arigatissimo, Mariko. You are a jewel in Kyoto's crown!
We were lucky to stay in Shimoza-an for two weeks. And even after a brief Ryokan experience at the more than superb Shiraume Ryokan, we were glad to return to Shimoza-an, a large and comfortable renovated machiya close to Sanjo-dori. This is smack in the cosiest part of Kyoto city center and yet in an extremely quiet location in Kamanza-dori. No loud taxis during the night like in Gion, no drunk tourists, no unrealistic touristic surroundings like Gion, no crowds of school children shopping in souvenir and snack shops. This neighbourhood is real, with real Kyoto people, buying fruit at a local fruit stand, riding a bicycle to work or having a coffee at nearby Starbuck's. But also, the big shopping district is just a short walk away.
Do not hesitate: Shimoza-an is the ideal place for a vacation in this miraculous, fantastic, beautiful, easy going city of Kyoto.

Overall a very good experience.staff was very helpful and very attentive. The only drawback was The lack of sufficient towels for our stay. Two towels for two people for a few
Days was not working for me. We had to clean them every day. But over all, a good experience and I’d recommend the apartment to any traveler.

A lovely neighborhood
My sister stayed here a few years ago and I stayed here with my husband this weekend and loved it. A nice quiet "real" neighborhood with great small restaurants around the corner. The owners give you a great binder of info and make the planning adventures easy. The apartment is lovely- a nice oasis
after a day of exploring.

Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?
I liked the typical 'eel' shape as called in Kyoto (the front side is not so wide and the house extends in length). I thought it could be so nice to preserve this townhouse and make our guests even for few days to live as Kyoto people lived for centuries with traditions plus a more today comfort in the daily house use.
Quels sont les atouts de cet hébergement ?
The benefits of this townhouse is keeping the traditional sides and add some modern touch to satisfy our international guests needs, and also the location: in central Kyoto but in a quiet street. At five minutes walking distance there is Nijo Castle, where the Shogun lived, old more than 400 hundreds years. Many other places to visit are at a walking distance, like Rokkakudo Temple called the navel of Kyoto connected with the famous ikebana school Ikenobo, the Imperial Park, or colourfull Nishiki food market. Bus stops are very close as banks, post office, museums, art galleries, every kind of restaurants, cafes, bars...and more and more!
